NHTSA Complaint #10422536 — 2010 TRIUMPH THUNDERBIRD

THE REAR BRAKES ON MY 2010 TRIUMPH THUNDERBIRD BEGAN MAKING NOISE. I TOOK THE BIKE INTO THE DEALER AND APPARENTLY THE BRAKE PADS ARE WORN TO NOTHING AND THE ROTOR IS WORN TO THE POINT OF HAVING TO BE REPLACED. THE BIKE ONLY HAS 4000 MILES ON IT AND THE FIRST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECK ON THE BRAKES IS 6000 MILES. IN ADDITION TO THIS ISSUE, THE SPEEDOMETER ON THE BIKE HAS STUCK 3 TIMES BUT THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO WITNESS THIS ISSUE AND SO THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE SPEEDOMETER. IT WILL SOMETIMES SHOW A MUCH SLOWER SPEED THAN ACTUALLY TRAVELING AND AT OTHER TIMES HAS SHOWN A MUCH HIGHER SPEED THAN IS ACTUALLY BEING TRAVELED (E.G. SHOWS 30 MPH WHEN DOING 55 AND SHOWS 100 MPH WHEN DOING 60). USUALLY CLEARS WHEN MOTORCYCLE IS TURNED OFF. *TR
